♪ the new movie, lincoln, has brought the president's life and legacy back to the forefront. what lessons can be learned for today's political process? >> john dickerson is here with a look at the president's second term. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> lincoln and fdr, according to doris kearns goodwin looked at their first term and gave them instructions for their second term. if president obama does that, what will he do differently? >> basically i think he will be less accommodating to republicans. he will -- now he doesn't have to worry about getting re-elected. and he will kind of give up on the attempt to get bipartisan consensus, creating a new kind of post partisan washington. all of those dreams are gone by experience.

and the lessons he has learned is to be a little bit tougher and that a result is more beneficial than a process that might look good, but that gets you no results. >> president obama, john, has said many times team of rooifb s -- rivals is one of his favorite books and if he had to save anything it would be the bible and the team of rivals. is he assembling a team of rivals during his second term? >> no, it doesn't appear to be the case. what's extraordinary about this film of lincoln and steward, that was his second rival, going after the 13th amendment is kind of the manager of the vote counting. lincoln puts this important task in the hands of his rival. there's no evidence that that is necessarily going to take place except for the fact that often in congressional negotiations the president, who doesn't have a great love of the working with senators and congressmen put

that task in the hand in the past he has put it in the task of joe biden, who was not like stewa steward, a great rival, but a rival of a kind in those democratic primaries. >> this is also true, that the president, if he looks at this film, will understand that abraham lincoln was prepared to make deals. abraham lincoln would do anything because he thought the 13th amendment was so important that he spent a considerable part of hi his time just trying to get the deal done. >> boy, you're exactly right. look at the three things that lincoln did. one, he bought votes essentially. that's a little harder to do today. remember when ben nelson, the democratic senator, was bought off with a cornhusker -- once that came out in the light of day, it went away. you have to string along your allies. lincoln takes the conservative republicans and basically to get their vote promises to let negotiations continue with the

confederates, then he manages the information. slow walks them so that basically he buys off them, gets their vote so that he can get what he wants. in the end what i also love here, in this film there's lawyerly evasions basically win the day. the vote is about to fail and lincoln is asked whether the confederate representatives are coming to washington and he says they are not here that i know of. it's essentially a lie by the law, legal standard his words aren't a lie but it's essentially a lie. >> they say president lincoln heard the word i heard a lot was manipulation. as he begins his second term, what lessons can he learn in dealing with some say a very divided congress? >> the difficulty is manipulation works to a point. he basically, though, has to be an actor, behave in one way with one group and behave in another way with another group and he has to know what the truth in the middle is. basically he has to do something that he may not enjoy that much, which is basically a lot of play acting, which allows everybody

to think you're working for them. then when you get the deals done, people might be a little disappointed but the deal is done. >> we sometimes tend to forget that presidents in the beginning and forever are politicians. >> they need to be politicians. we don't like -- in campaigns all of the politicians arts are sort of looked down upon but, in fact, knowing how to string along your friends, knowing how to have multiple people believe multiple thing, knowing how to string the public along are all essential skills of a pres

alto. it happened on the off-ramp from northbound u.s. 101 to embarcadero road. two of the injured are in critical condition. the third a chp officer is being treated for minor injuries. the ramp remains closed at this hour. this should not have a major effect on 101 since traffic is light because of the holiday. the christmas season unofficially kicks off today. tree lighting events are set this evening for union square in san francisco and christmas in the park in downtown san jose. stay with us, traffic and weather in just a moment. ,,,,,,

good morning. we're tipping to follow this fatal accident along the peninsula in palo alto. all but one lane are shut down northbound 101 at embarcadero road. it is actually already pretty backed up on 101 jamming up towards highway 85. one person in an suv was killed. it was also involving a chp patrol car. several other people were injured. use 280 in the meantime because again, 101 lanes will be shut down they are saying until

about 1:00 when they can hopefully lift that traffic alert and finishing the investigation. here's lawrence with the forecast. >> lots of sunshine, elizabeth, hazy towards sutro tower in the distance. mostly sunny skies throughout the day today temperatures a little chilly in fairfield at 38 degrees now. 42 in santa rosa and 45 in san jose. 54 degrees in pacifica. this afternoon, expecting lots of sunshine and plenty of 60s outside, maybe even some low 70s. looks like nice weather throughout the weekend, going to stay dry through tuesday, maybe some showers toward the middle of next week. ,,,,,,,,

♪ it is 8:00 a.m. welcome back to cbs "this morning." black friday shopper got an early start. retailers hope they are in a

spending mood. we'll ask the ceo of jc penney about his holiday goals and why his stores didn't open on thanksgiving. and 60 years of portraits show queen

>> eye opener at 8:00 is brought to you by the aarp. i'm charlie rose with gayle king. norah o'donnell is off today. black friday's bargain hunting began early than of this year. stores that opened on thanksgiving night had plenty of shoppers waiting. >> a new gallop poll say 18% of people plan to shop today. sale prices are a big reason.

family tradition that play as factor too. seth doane is at a target store in jersey city, new jersey. one of the stores where shoppers got a head start last night. seth what are the crowds like today? >> reporter: well, gayle in many ways they are not as crazy as generally imagine for black friday. a lot of that craziness happened last night when stores opened 8:00, 9:00, you saw long lines in front of stores. the store we're at here at target had a very long line, hundreds of people in line at 8:00. just imagine now these stores have been open for 11 or so hours. one of the things we're hearing from target people are spending more time in these stores and not just coming in and buying tvs or spending time in the housewares or home section because it's a more leisurely evening experience that black friday has crept into thanksgiving day. >> there's a lot of talk about online shopping, changing the turn out. have you seen any indication of

that in your location? >> well, yeah. absolutely. you see a lot more of these. bar codes. top selling toys. go to the toy aisle and scan the bar code and ship it to your loved one anywhere in the country for free. that's happening as these stores really try to compete with the convenience that can be found online. also everyone is using these apps. i walked in today, there's an app called shop kick and it gave me points for coming in to the store. retailers want you to come in to the store. maybe you'll buy more than you planned on than if you were shopping online. >> black friday is a traditional day when retailers make their yearly profit. but it's going to take longer for jc penney to get out of that red. the company lost more than $430 million this year. ceo ron johnson is in a jc penney store outside of san francisco. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. how are you? hi, gayle. >> good to see you. >> we're interested to see what's going on with your store.

why didn't you follow what other stores were doing and make an exception for your store on thanksgiving? >> i really believe there's two great traditions that happen this time of year. one is thanksgiving which is a day to give thanks for all the blessings we have. the second is the kick start to the holiday season. black friday is called black friday because it should start on friday. no matter when you open you'll have a big crowd. customers want the best value. but we think we should honor both families and shopping and we chose to do both. >> one thing people are looking at with your stewardship of jc penney is your model to turn it around and it doesn't seem in terms of the early returns that you're able to do what you wanted to do, on the on the other hand you argue it's a long term plan. what are the benchmarks for you in turning around jc penney? >> well, to me, charlie, the big

benchmark is february 1st next year. we expected one year of transition if we changed our pricing. we're trying to teach people new way to shop. and we want people to shop on their terms. it's like today, our values are available all day long from the moment we opened at 6:00 until 11:00 at night. people can balance their personal needs with our store needs and it's going to take a year to teach people really how respond to the new pricing. we deliver amazing value. i think we're one of the best kept secrets but we expect to return to growth next year. >> last time you were here you laid out your new strategy and everybody that heard it thought it was a great idea. why do you think it didn't go according to plan and has that been frustrating for you. >> i think it takes time. you know we spent decades teaching people how to find value in a store. retailers do, a lot of people make up prices to create until lugs of savings. we said enough of that. we want to treat customers fair

and square. like the decision not to interrupt the turkey dinner to go shop. these are things that are long term values. and it's going to take time for people to understand that. but i'm trying to position jc penney for the next hundred years not this year. >> one of the things you say in terms of responding to criticism is that you say when you were at apple and creating apple stores, retail stores that it took a long time and that steve jobs had a game plan. how did you convince the critics that they can wait for you to do what you want to do? >> i think people will wait. you got to remember for every sale of a stock another person buy as stock. we have a rotation in our investor base. our investors are looking at where we'll be down the road, not where we'll be this year. our vision is very clear. you know, we built out this really great mock up of the

future jcp store in dallas. everybody gets to see that and excited about it and that will roll out next year. by back to school next year 40% of the store will be updated. a new home area, kid area. we'll be one of the most exciting stores in the mall in the next few months ahead. >> i can see you're enthusiasm, ron johnson. i'm hoping you're wearing a jc penney sweater. >> i am. this is our jcp sweater. it's actually -- think about this. it has cotton and cashmere and you can buy this today for $15. >> sounds like a deal. >> it's unbelievable. >> you're eliminating check out counters. how does that work? i don't quite understand what that means. >> a lot of people have been to an apple store. every employee carries an ipod and we can check you out

anywhere any time. the check out counter will go away. the employees that were waiting for to you check out will meet you when you are thinking to buy. we will deliver more service and convenience as we do that. we're doing that today here. >> let's look at the fourth quarter. you have computer technology today that gives you a way to look at where this quarter will end, this final quarter in the year. do you think it will be less than expected? >> you know, i can't really talk at this point in time about a performance for the quarter. we had an unbelievable day online yesterday. way exceeded our expectations. our crowds today, the kick-off of the holiday season on the east coast and the midwest are much larger than last year. that's the beginning of the day. we have to get through the whole day. i'm very encouraged by what i see yesterday and today. >> generally, overall buying in

this holiday season. can you measure how it's comparing to other years? >> you really can't. it's way too early. i've been around retail for 30 years. i've had years where we had an amazing black friday and the holiday came in slow. other years where it started slow came in fast. so i think we got to get through it, add up the results and see where it falls. >> the interesting thing what you're doing now versus apple stores. when people were coming to apple stores there were hot products they were standing in the line get. what are they waiting for at a jc penney store? >> well today they are here to get, you know, electrics. $8 for toaster ovens and 12 cup coffee makers. it's price and value. it always will be on black friday. value is always important. that's why we're trying to deliver more value every
